What are these platitudes? Of course they have a legal and moral right to do so, otherwise it wouldn’t be put into law.

What is the point of BTC price climbing if you wouldn't be able to convert it to cash or pay for goods?

Ah, so they are paying for the adverse effect on the climate. That's alright then. /s

The right to free speech doesn’t give you the right to be dumb under the guise of “dissent”. EDIT: Also, what bothers me is the turn of phrase he uses “to agree on facts” - this is insidious, facts are not a matter of negotiation to agree o

This is interesting! For me - we just didn’t hear about differential dataflow. But we will probably use it in an upcoming project, because I was looking for a solution like that.

Assume my rhetorical question boils down to “is it possible to find a willing BTC lender with a decent enough size and non loan-shark rates”? Or even “is there a consensus yield curve for BTC?”

Wait, you can short Bitcoin now?

Yes, see, here we have respect for science only if a) it is our specific field, or b) fits average tech bro sensibilities. Obviously, we are completely objective and not emotional or biased, because we know JavaScript.

Americans didn’t Weimar-Republic into a fascist regime this time, thankfully. The prevailing idea on HN is however “let’s have no regulation than bad regulation”... Guys, there’s such thing as good regulation.

Yes, that is what we are demanding. And it's fine. What you are referring to is "the freerider problem", like you, for example, have with public transportation or any publicly available good or service. From the experience th

Yes. Because Linux is not competitive in some cases.

It takes me 2 minutes to install WSL Ubuntu. Or I could spend half a day on figuring out a hacky solution to a Windows/SSH/XWindows workflow that offers even a comparable level of integration. It will grow into weeks of obsessive

One reason might be, is that they might need to in part work with a server-side system that runs on Linux and it’s easier this way. But maybe they also need to work with stuff thats Windows only. Say they need to produce media assets with t
